Scientific paper

We review the current status of the ACS polarization calibration. We begin with a brief description of the instrument and the GO science program, and then review pre-flight calibrations as well as the on-orbit data from programs 9586 and 9661. Various key parameters are derived and discussed -- these include the polarizer transmissions, polarization properties of the mirrors and CCDs, the polarizer angles on the sky, and the instrumental polarization. We close with a summary of remaining issues, advice for observers, and a summary of future plans. A forth coming report will present a preliminary calibration for GO data.
